I love exploring around Woods Hole. With the Oceanographic Institute and Marine Biology Lab sited in the village, there are all kinds of interesting boats and gadgets. The reseach vessel Tioga was tied up at the pier when I visited this summer. It’s not their biggest boat but she’s fast and used for research in coastal waters. She’s been used to collect water samples, deploy and recover different types of devices, and tag right whales with behavior-monitoring equipment.
Interesting name for a place. Woods Hole…. I do enjoy your rural travels.. waves good morning..
Good morning. “Hole” here refers to a passage on the sea. There are a series of islands here and all of the passages are called holes. I hope to hit the road this weekend. What about you?
Working boats are always so interesting.
I agree. I’m fascinated by them.
Back to Mass. the Nobska Light! Sounds like a great place to visit.
Ah, you know the area, Nobska Light is right around the corner from here.
Sadly I’ve never been across the Atlantic! You wrote about the Light a couple of weeks back and I went on to look it up! Have a great weekend Chris!
Thank you, Ashley. You too.
It must be exciting to travel in waters through these types of boats 🚢 😃
I think so. I’ve never been on a boat like this.
So refreshing to see your travel posts again. I wanna go back to the normal days, when travelling was so much fun, without any fear of pandemic.
I know, Arati. I feel the same. I’ll get an idea to do something and then realize I can’t because of COVID. Let’s do what we can for now. Let’s stay healthy, let’s think about what we really want and what’s really important and then when this is over, we can go for it. Thanks, Arati.
A handsome and very busy boat. Cool find Chris! I like the nautical vibe here today. I hope you’re doing well!
Thank you, Sandra. They have some cool things there. Sadly, because of Coronavirus, I couldn’t get onto their docks which are normally open. But I did get this shot. Things are good here. I’m wrapping up the work week and heading for the weekend. I hope you’re doing well, my friend.
Beautiful image 🌻✌️
Thank you, Sohair. Have a great day.
Thanks. You also have a beautiful day 🌻
Okay – next time you need to take a pic in action, like when they’re tagging a whale. 😉
I’ll work on that.
